All inclusive Digital Photo Package....worth it??

[Pier290]

Anyone purchase the $200 digital photo package?  If so....it is worth it?  Approximately how many photos do they actually take??

We normally get the package. Your number of pictures will depend on the number of times you stop to get your photo taken. We’ve always been pleased with the number & variety of poses. Some photographers are better than others, you figure out quickly who the really good ones are

We are wondering the same thing.  What happens with the printed photos though since the package says "digital".

what we have always had is titled "All Inclusive Digital Online Plus Prints Photo Package" and covers both prints and digital.

 

I suspect this is one and the same as for our upcoming 14 day cruise to Iceland this package is listed for £158 . With a 20 year old DD this is absolutely worth it and we often come home with two or three hundred prints 😎

I purchased the $200 digital photos package on Equinox last October.  We took photos at every gangway and every evening with multiple backgrounds. We took home well over 100 prints and received a link to download a digital copy of all photos.  Considering the per-print cost, we found the package to be an excellent value. HTH

We purchased the unlimited digital + print photo package for our Transatlantic sailing on the Reflection last year. The photo package was a first for us, and it freed me from having to do the sole photography work during the sailing. There were three of us in our cabin, and practically every time we saw a photographer, we took a photo. Going to dinner, take a photo (or several) along the way. Leaving the ship, take a photo. Up early on deck to see the ship coming into port, say "Hi" to the photographer likely there too and take a photo. Photo, Photo, Photo. We knew them all by name after a few days! The system has facial recognition, so when any one of us in our cabin was in a photo, that photo was added automatically to the digital portion of our package. You should go to the Photo Gallery daily to see your current digital prints at the kiosk, and then also pick your latest printed prints off of the print wall; upon handing them to a Rep they will store them in a folder for you for pick up before the end of your cruise. In all, the Celebrity photo staff took a total of 297 photos of us, and we walked off the ship with the prints nearly needing another suitcase to carry them all home. We also received a link to download every one of them in digital format after the cruise. If you do the math, that comes out to less than $1 per 8x10 photo – Best deal ever, especially considering that a single 8x10 runs $25 on board.

Is this the new package with no Prints?  I believe they are ending the prints as they toss so many of them, and many people are quite happy with digital.  

 

We have gotten the package many many times when sailing with family.

what we did with the package was stop by their desk and select the photos we liked off their tablet. Then it was down loaded it onto our thumb drive that we purchased from them.

We were sent a link a few days after sailing in December 2018 and could download all of our images that way.  Easy.

We loved the digital photos on EDGE.  Great photo opps,

We hoped to buy a photobook package but it turns out it was a  pre designed book where you plug in your photos to fit their slots ..there wasnt an  option to self design which was not what we wanted.  We ended up buying a lesser digital package but they threw in sev  blank albums  and  photo holders with large prints of the ship..

 

The prints  actually failed to download on our  Android tablet , but the Apple rep on board  EDGE worked very hard to make it work..  he was amazing!

 

Suggest anyone who buys a digital  package make sure the downloads  work BEFORE you leave the ship!

Last cruise they took loads of pictures and we bough the dozen or so we wanted.  They supplied them on a memory stick, no printed copies.... however... All the pictures were on the memory stick but they encrypted the onse that we hadn't paid for.  So if anyone is good at decryption or knows the right tools, they could get all the pictures they want but just by paying for a few.

****Disclaimier**** I am merely pointing out the technology being used and a hypothetical scenario.  In no way am I suggesting anyone does anything dodgy or that they are not supposed to do.
